March 27 – Women’s History Month – Fearless Females

March 27 – Do you know the immigration story of one or more female ancestors? Do you have any passenger lists, passports, or other documentation? Interesting family stories?

I can’t answer this in any way because none of my females ancestors were immigrants here or from immigrant families. They were all born and bred in the UK, albeit different parts. None of my partner Paul’s female ancestors were immigrants either so I have not done any research into passenger lists or other documentation for any of our female ancestors.

I have a couple of stories about a few of my male ancestors that left the UK, but this series is about female ancestors only so I cannot write about them here. Let’s hope at some stage we can do a series on our male ancestors for a month!! I can write so much more about them in all the topics that have been used for this series. 😉

YOUR ANCESTORS

If you could see your ancestors
All standing in a row
Would you be proud of them
Or don't you really know?
Some strange discoveries are made
In climbing family trees
And some of them, you know
Do not particularly please!

If you could see your ancestors
All standing in a row
There might be some of them, perhaps
You wouldn't care to know
But here's another question, which
Requires a different view ...
If you could meet your ancestors
Would they be proud of you?(Author unknown)
